Saying hello

Hi @Gramma24 and welcome to the online community,

You're asking for advice on bilateral arthritis, which started three weeks ago and is an addition to degenerative disc disease with which you already live. It can be hard to hear a diagnosis like this, but now you know, then you can begin to work on a treatment plan along with your medical practitioner. You might find it useful to have a look at the Versus Arthritis information link on osteoarthritis of the knee - it explains what to expect with your treatment as well as some suggestions for self help:

Osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee | Knee pain | Versus Arthritis

All the members of the forum have experienced arthritis in their lives so I'll let them welcome you to the community and share their experiences.

All the best,
